How about Buick Regal?

The objective evaluation of Buick Regal: reasonable price, leading power configuration, strong vehicle positioning, as long as the hidden quality problems are solved, it is a good car.

Buick Regal has a certain position in the B-class joint venture car. Although the market performance of American mid-level cars is relatively weak, the sales volume of Regal can steadily rise to 9K, which is already a very rare achievement. This also shows that Regal is indeed cost-effective. Let's take a look at the specific parameters of this car.

Regal, a B-class car with large space, has a body size of 4902* 1863* 1456, a wheelbase of 2829mm and a sporty design style. There are two versions of power, namely:

1.5T turbocharged engine with maximum power 125kw and peak torque of 252nm, matched with 9-speed automatic manual transmission; The power of the small horse-drawn cart is really average, and many gears lead to frequent shifting, so the sudden acceleration is not fast, which is somewhat inconsistent with the sports style.

However, in order to reduce the price, it is also a good choice for consumers who do not require performance but only pursue a comfortable experience.

2.0T turbocharged engine with maximum power 192kw and peak torque of 350 Nm, matching the same 9AT；; The performance of this version is already quite good. A 20-class fuel vehicle with 0- 1 acceleration within 7.5 seconds is considered as a performance vehicle. This version is most worth starting with Regal.

Followed by 1.8L hybrid. The power structure is provided by the ECVT hybrid gearbox. The experience is mainly NVH, but the performance is not proportional to the price, so it is not recommended to consider it.

The new Regal is based on the new E2 platform. The front McPherson and rear multi-link independent suspensions have good comfort experience and clear road feeling. Although it is a forerunner, it also has some driving pleasure. The safety configuration comes standard with front and rear airbag curtains, tire pressure monitoring and ESP, and is equipped with richer electronic auxiliary configuration, so the safety level is relatively high in the joint venture vehicle of the same class.

The price of such a joint venture car is 65,438+07.58-269,800, and the discount at this stage is about 25,000. The actual terminal price is reasonable, and Regal is also worth the money in the B-class car, so you can choose.

Pay attention to Tianhe and cars when choosing a car, and update interesting questions and answers every day when buying a car. Today, some people still stubbornly believe that Japanese cars look like American cars. As a model with American brand logo, Buick Regal is naturally regarded as a "pure American car" by many consumers in China. But a little understanding will show that Regal is actually an Opel Insua with Buick logo, which is a highly concentrated European car.

In fact, this generation of Regal does not have the bloated and heavy feeling of American cars in earlier years. It is a mid-level car that can be played in all aspects, and its GS version has also broken a path in the sports mid-level car market and become a major label of Regal cars. In this year's mid-term redesign, this generation of Regal ushered in an upgrade, so what is the actual performance of its entry-level version 1.5T?

Driving experience

The new Regal still offers 1.5T and 2.0T power versions, but the output data of these two power combinations have been adjusted. The power of the new engine is slightly lowered, the maximum horsepower is adjusted from 170 to 169, and the maximum torque is changed from 252n·m to 250n·m, but the maximum torque range is expanded from the original 2000-4000 rpm to 1700-4400 rpm. The power value does not change much, but the wider peak torque platform allows the turbine to intervene earlier, thus obtaining better low torque performance.

Regal 1.5T power is actually more than enough for daily driving, and it has a brisk start. 9AT also makes the gear shift smooth and smooth when driving at medium and low speeds, with no obvious sense of frustration. Driving on everyday roads, this smooth sense of acceleration can make you drive very easily.

When you step on the accelerator deeply, the gearbox can quickly judge your power requirements and speed up the downshift for you. At this time, the feeling of accelerating the push-back is still quite obvious, especially in sports mode, when you step on the accelerator deeply with the shift paddle, you will feel an instant ejection. Of course, the limit of 169 horsepower also exists. When the vehicle speed exceeds 80km/h, the speed-up process is relatively slow.

The sportiness of Regal 2.0T GS is very impressive. 1.5T model is much inferior to the original 2.0T with 260 horsepower, but the handling sense of the whole car still retains the characteristics of the entire Regal car system, and low sitting posture is one of them.

Tough chassis is also one aspect. When you drive this car on the road, you can clearly feel all the conditions on the road, such as a small crack, a pebble, a slight depression and so on. So under the continuous bumpy road conditions, you may feel that the shock absorption of hard suspension is not thorough enough. However, the advantage of this adjustment is that the curve limit is higher, and when you pass the ramp quickly, the body roll is well suppressed, giving you full confidence.

In addition, although the steering feel of this car is soft, there is no false feedback from other electric power steering, and the texture is still worthy of recognition. However, the fly in the ointment is that because the media control key on the steering wheel is designed at the back, the position of the steering wheel at three or nine o'clock is relatively thick, which not only affects the grip, but also has a feeling of not being firm when it is suddenly opened.

Regal 1.5T has no outstanding performance in sound insulation. The noise reduction in the car has reached the standard of intermediate car. Although the idle speed of 42.8 dB is not excellent, the wind noise and tire noise in the car will not be too disturbing when driving at high speed. The sound of the engine is obvious when accelerating sharply. Fortunately, I didn't feel hoarse. If you think the sound of the engine can bring you a little passion, it actually sounds better.

The brake pedal feels tight, and you can feel strong damping when you step on the brake. That kind of feeling is completely different from the conventional brake pedal, more like stepping on a big button. Now all new Buick models have such a brake foot feeling. You can quickly get used to and master its characteristics with a little adaptation, and its actual braking effect is beyond doubt. The measured braking distance of 100 kilometers is 39. 18 meters, which is not bad.

Generally speaking, 1.5T Regal is sporty to drive, and does not pursue the ultimate handling, but it still retains the comfort, so that you can drive easily in daily traffic without being too boring.

performance test

Accelerated test-0-100km/h:10.42s.

Turn off ESP and air conditioner, and turn on sports mode. Regal 1.5T starts because the speed protection can only hold back to about 2000 rpm, and it accelerates by 0.5g at the moment of starting, and the head-up phenomenon is very slight, and the whole acceleration process is relatively gentle. When the vehicle speed reaches above 50km/h, the acceleration has gradually decreased to about 0.2g and basically maintained.

Regal 1.5T is not excellent in acceleration compared with the same class, and there is a gap of about one second compared with other turbocharged models with the same displacement. However, Regal 1.5T defeated Camry with 2.0L natural inhalation and 178 maximum horsepower. Relatively speaking, Camry has the advantage of 10 horsepower, but the torque is less than 40N·m, so this result appears.

Brake test-100km/h-0: 39.18m

In terms of braking, the performance of Regal 1.5T is satisfactory, which not only makes people feel confident enough, but also gives great braking effect. As can be seen from the chart, during the whole braking process, the acceleration curve is maintained at the level of-1g, and the maximum peak value reaches-1.2g. It can also be seen from the speed curve that the whole deceleration process is relatively linear.

The braking performance of the new Regal 1.5T is less than 40m, which is qualified in the same class. However, compared with the same class models, Regal still has a big advantage. Among the above competing models, except Mai Ruibao and Regal, they are all close to 40m or even more than 41m..

Noise test-idle noise value: 42.8 dB

After turning off the air conditioner and all audio equipment, the measured noise inside the idle car is 42.8 decibels, which can only be said to be average for the intermediate car. Compared with some competitors equipped with double-deck sound insulation glass or active noise reduction system, 1.5T is understandable as the entry-level power model of Regal car. But at the speeds of 60km/h, 90km/h and 120km/h, its performance is slightly better than that of its competitors at the same level, mainly because the isolation of tire noise is in place.

Fuel consumption test-comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: 8.6 1 liter.

Regal 1.5T is an entry-level model. Users who choose this power are more concerned about fuel consumption than power and control, so we conducted a comprehensive fuel consumption test of 100 kilometers. The whole test process includes 1/3 expressway, 1/3 medium-speed urban expressway and 1/3 urban congested roads.

On the day of the test, the temperature was about 28, and the air conditioner in the car was set to 24, 2 for wind protection and internal circulation. Regal 1.5T has no economical driving mode, so we test it directly in the state of turning off the sports mode and turning on the engine to start and stop automatically.

Comprehensive road driving 102km or so, the average fuel consumption at the end of the test is 8.6L, the actual gasoline is 8.83L, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of Regal 1.5T is 8.6 1L, which is basically consistent with the meter. For a mid-level car with 1.5T power, this fuel consumption performance is quite satisfactory.

Static review

This generation of Buick Regal has achieved good sales results since its listing on 20 17. This year, Regal ushered in a mid-term change and upgrade, and the power data of 1.5T and 2.0T models were adjusted. After the change, the version of 1.5T was reduced from four to two, and two mid-range models were retained and a few configurations were optimized.

In terms of interior, the new Regal basically continues the old design, only making some adjustments. The increase of configuration is the key. After the change, the new car comes standard with shift paddles, equipped with Buick's latest eConnect intelligent interconnection technology, and also includes Baidu intelligent car connection function, which brings clearer display and smoother experience. In addition, the new Regal also supports Apple's wireless CarPlay smartphone mapping, which greatly eliminates the trouble of user connection.

summary

Generally speaking, this generation of Regal is a very competent family medium-sized car. Even a little handsome, the interior texture is enough and the space is enough to accommodate the family. The original configuration level is not bad. After the change, it has further added some practical functions. Indeed, this 1.5T powertrain can't make you indulge in violent acceleration, but it is more than enough for daily driving, and smaller displacement also brings better fuel economy. You can't pick out any big shortcomings of the whole car, which is as balanced as a Toyota. Regal 1.5T is almost your best choice when your budget is only 0.2 million/200 thousand and you want to own a joint venture car that is passable in all aspects, especially after the change and upgrade.

Regal is a sports car of Opel platform. Made in China, it has two kinds of displacement: 1.5T and 2.0T, and is equipped with a universal 9AT gearbox. The appearance is very fashionable and dynamic, and the interior space is also very large, which changes the cramped interior space of the old LaCrosse.

If more domestic use is considered, 1.5T is enough. If you pay more attention to the power of the car, then I suggest buying 2.0T Regal GS, with sports kit and racing seat, and accelerating 100 kilometers for 6 seconds.

The discount rate of Buick's new car is very large, and it is difficult to predict the discount rate in the future. If you are worried about losing too much after buying it, I strongly suggest you go to the used car market to find a quasi-new car in good condition. Under the depreciation of the first owner, the second-hand Buick will be more cost-effective, so you will lose less when you sell it in the future. If you are a big fan of Buick and are not short of money, then when the discount reaches the price in your heart, take a new car decisively.

When it comes to mid-level cars, people will first think of Honda Accord, Toyota Camry or Volkswagen Magotan. Of course, it is also the top three domestic mid-level cars. But unexpectedly, a mid-level car that followed them in sales volume was an American Buick Regal.

In 2020, Buick Regal sold 65,438+035,877 vehicles, making it the best-selling mid-level car in the United States.

The history of the rich. Buick Regal is a sports car owned by GM. Since the birth of the first Regal in 1973, the first few generations of Regal have been equipped with the most advanced powertrain in general, and have always been known for their performance.

However, with the increasing demand for family cars in the market, Regal began to give consideration to comfort while exercising.

From 1998, the fourth-generation Regal was officially produced in SAIC-GM factory and named as "Buick New Century", and in 2002, a Regal model tailored for China market was put on the market and officially named as "Regal".

They also have the characteristics of business temperament, luxurious interior, good ride comfort and stable high-speed driving quality. This is also the highest light moment of Regal in China.

Later, with the popularity of Japanese and German medium-sized cars, Regal gradually faded out of the mainstream market of medium-sized cars. But careful friends will find that in the mid-level car market in recent years, the name of Regal often flashes, and this Regal, which once dominated the domestic mid-level car consumption market, is back.

The lowest price of Regal 1.5T is enough. Regal 2020 552T elite model, the manufacturer's guide price is 654.38+088.8 million yuan, the market discount is 45,000 yuan, and the dealer's reference price is 654.38+043.8 million yuan. It is equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder engine, with the maximum power 169 horsepower and the maximum torque of 250n·m, matching the 9-speed automatic manual transmission. The actual fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is about 8.8L.

Although it is a mid-level car. However, after the market discount of 45,000 yuan, the actual selling price of 1.5T elite Regal has reached the level of 1.4 million yuan. In the same level, the cost performance is very high. You should know that the actual price of the Accord with the same price of 1.5T is 1.6 million, and the configuration of Regal is much richer.

First of all, GM's most advanced 9AT gearbox has not shrunk to CVT gearbox on 1.5T models. On the other hand, Accord adopts the powertrain of 1.5T+CVT. First of all, CVT has achieved more economical fuel consumption performance. But at the same time, it will also cause consumers to doubt whether this is a large civic.

In terms of safety configuration, the minimum configuration of both cars is equipped with main and co-pilot airbags and front side airbags. However, Regal has more airbags in the front and rear rows, which is more kind.

In terms of tire pressure monitoring system, Regal's tire pressure display system can observe tire pressure value more intuitively. However, Accord only provides tire pressure alarm, so it can't know the tire pressure value in time during daily driving, and it is still inferior in safety and practicality.

In terms of parking assistance, the advantages of low Regal are obvious, and the rear parking radar and reversing images can help car owners park more conveniently. However, the performance of the low-profile Accord is too hasty. Instead of adopting the traditional one-to-one style of Japanese cars, it directly chose to omit these configurations.

In addition, Regal is a good choice for friends who often run at high speed, and cruise at fixed speed will still be configured on the low-grade Regal.

This configuration is also not available on the low-profile Accord.

In addition, I hope my car has a stronger sense of technology. The low-profile Regal is equipped with an intelligent remote control key, which supports keyless entry and remote start of the whole vehicle.

Regal's active closed air intake grille can automatically open or close the air intake grille according to the external temperature, so that the engine can be in the best working condition at any time. At the same time, when driving at high speed, closing the intake grille can reduce the air resistance of the vehicle and improve the fuel economy of the vehicle.

From the space point of view, it is a sub-item of Regal sports car. Regal's 4904x1863x1461mm has a wheelbase of 2829mm. Looking at the body size and wheelbase alone, Regal is really a big car. However, as a sports car that pays attention to the driving experience in the front row, Regal's performance in the back row is slightly average.

On the one hand, the excessive emphasis on the front seats occupies some space in the back row to some extent. On the other hand, the hard seat of sports car also exists in Regal. Compared with the mid-level car of the same level, it pays attention to the large space and the softness of the seat, which is simply the opposite.

Regal still stubbornly does not have a rear central headrest, and the central platform is raised, which is another sub-item for the insufficient rear space.

Why didn't the cost-effective Regal become the best-selling mid-level car? 1. Because a few years ago, GM devoted itself to developing a three-cylinder engine. Although it made innovations in technology and fuel consumption, its efforts were thankless, but it was rejected by domestic consumers and gained a reputation of simple matching.

2. In addition, the price stability period of GM's new cars after listing is too short. After a period of time, they usually exchange huge discounts for market sales. This gives consumers the impression that Regal does not keep its value.

3. Regal pursues sports too much and does not compromise and consider space and comfort, which makes some family-oriented men choose other brands with larger space and higher comfort.

Regal's appearance is very young and sporty, and it is deeply loved by young people. However, it also makes some middle-aged men think that its appearance is too radical. Instead, choose a model with a more commercial appearance, such as Magotan.

5, the old concept of American car oil tiger. In the past, American cars did have higher fuel consumption, but better driving quality and comfort coexisted.

Summary:

However, with Regal's 9-speed automatic manual transmission and active closed air intake grille. The actual fuel consumption of Regal 2020 552T elite model is about 8.8L per 100 kilometers, although it is worse than the actual fuel consumption of 7.5L in 1.5T Accord.

But for a 4.9-meter, 1.4-ton medium-sized car. This kind of fuel consumption is completely acceptable to the public. If you pursue sports and hope to have richer configuration, better driving quality and noise insulation, it is still very worthwhile to spend 6.5438+0.4 million to buy a mid-level car Regal.

The discount is strong, the price is high at the same level, and the car is more atmospheric. The gearbox used to be bad, but it's ok now.

Regal's appearance is still Buick family-style design. The front looks wider and the impact is particularly strong. The front net and daytime running lights are decorated with flying wing elements. The waistline design of the car body is simple and young, which belongs to the eye-catching rear design. The double exhaust design looks a bit sporty. In terms of space riding, it can be said that the space performance of the head and legs is satisfactory, the trunk volume is high, the utilization rate of the back support is higher after being put down, the opening is larger, and it is convenient to take and put things. The power is equipped with 1.5T and 2.0T turbocharged engines, and the transmission is matched with a 9-speed automatic manual transmission, which is smoother after adjustment. In normal mode, shifting gears is still not too frustrating.

Buick has developed luxury into its own "characteristics", and this sense of luxury is more obvious in Buick Regal. Regal embodies luxury, mostly in the interior, such as the fur-turned seat in the car with leather package, which should be only available in luxury cars. The shape of the central control screen has followed Buick for many years, but "good design is always good design", just like Lamborghini a few years ago, even if you look at the appearance now, it will still be very handsome. Regal's interior gives people such a feeling.

Summary: When it comes to Regal's first impression of him, it may be more interior decoration, such as the fur seat and leather package in the car, which should only appear in luxury cars. Sitting on it is very comfortable, and many people like it because of the interior. My friends and I found that the appearance of the vehicle was stable and atmospheric, and the feeling of high-speed driving was very comfortable, without the brisk feeling of Japanese brands.

Thank you for inviting me to answer your question!

The latest Buick Regal has lost the feeling of calm atmosphere in previous years, but it looks more Korean. As for how, I'll give you the following points.

1. appears

The appearance is younger and can be better integrated into modern young people.

2. Internal

In terms of interior, this generation of Regal is not bad. This soft place is made of soft materials, and the interior looks luxurious as a whole. The most important thing is that space has changed, which is very important.

deploy

Rich in configuration, enough for home use, but if you want better and more configurations, you can only buy high-end models.

4. Performance-price ratio

As far as I know, this Regal is only 65,438+0.3 million after the discount, and the price is cheap, much cheaper than the intermediate car of the same level.

5. Gearbox

This model comes standard with 9-speed hand speed, which is quite good.

Buick Regal, combined with this price, is still quite good. The low-profile models fully meet the household needs, so it is not necessary to spend more money to choose a good match.

If you really love Regal, don't be indecisive!

1, the fuel consumption is very touching.

The oil consumption of the old Regal is partly because the power is not transmitted to the wheels, and partly because the running-in between the gearbox and the engine is not smooth, which wastes the power. The 9AT of the new Regal does not have this problem. In fact, people in China like Buick very much, and the only thing that makes people dissatisfied is fuel consumption. But now you really can't find out what's wrong with Regal's fuel consumption.

2. It's so comfortable.

The seats of German cars are more comfortable, and the sound insulation is better than that of Japanese cars. Regal is almost the pillar of the same class of comfortable cars, which is different from the maddening interiors of Camry and Accord. Buick's interior design is very warm, the space is quite satisfactory, and the sound insulation is very good. Doctor 2.0T's voice is very clean. In a word, the comfort of the new Regal is reflected in sight, hearing, feeling and meticulous care.

This is a car that will not be out of date after ten years.

From 2009 to 17, Regal has not changed, and the change in 17 is a big change at once. Therefore, Regal is a car that will not go out of date. After all, it has just been completely replaced.

4, the same level of motivation is the best.

The power standard of the new Regal is completely in accordance with Cadillac's standards, and the three parts and some parts are also shared by Cadillac, so the basic strength of the new Regal is very strong.

5. Matrix headlights can illuminate 400 meters away, which is more powerful than Audi A4L.

Generally speaking, the price of 654.38+0.7 million can buy the entry-level Regal, and the price of 200,000 can be sold to the middle and advanced level, which is still very attractive. If it is true love, don't be indecisive.

I have 1.5 regal agate red at home now. At present, the disadvantage is that it is windy and noisy, which is a common problem of Buick. When the 9at gearbox keeps shifting at low speed, it will feel a little frustrated, and the fuel consumption in the urban area is 9 to 10. There is not much room in the rear row in a mid-size car. Advantages are good-looking and cheap. If there is no traffic jam, the fuel consumption is about 7.5, and the power is OK. Those who say 1.5t are useless, at least better than 2.5 self-priming blocks! Do you use your family car to take part in the competition? The car paint is beautiful and the materials are thick. Generally speaking, it's not bad.

You can start with it. Regal is very cost-effective now. Although the American B-class car is not as high as the German Magotan Passat, nor as ordinary as the Japanese Accord Teana Camry, it is very cost-effective. Although the data is not too eye-catching, 0 1.5T plus 9AT 170 horsepower 252 Nm is still enough for home use, and 0 100 accelerates for more than 9 seconds. The 2.0TGS version with more than 240 horsepower ran for 7 seconds. The luxury version 1.5T, which started last year, has less than 654.38+0.6 million naked cars, front seat heating, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, LED automatic headlights, remote starting and reversing image radar (front and rear), which is very cost-effective, and Buick New Regal is not at the same level in Germany, and its handling is not at the same level in Japan. Most importantly, you can own a 4.9-meter B-class car with a wheelbase of 2829 for less than 1.6 million. At the same price, you can only buy the standard Volkswagen Ling Du 280, with a high civic. The advantages of B-class cars are not comparable to those of A-class cars. Doesn't it smell good?
